This video walks through the full installation routine of a double eared tie rod hydraulic cylinder, starting with the rod end where O-rings and backup rings are fitted, followed by the piston which is secured with a set screw. Additional O-rings and wear rings are then added to complete the sealing package. The cylinder barrel is first mounted onto the double-eared base, and the greased piston assembly is gently slid into the bore. A square guide bushing and a flange cover are placed over the open end, then four tie rods are inserted through the housing and evenly torqued to ensure balanced clamping. Finally, the ports are capped to keep out debris during storage.
By showing each step in sequence, this video helps technicians understand the correct order and torque discipline. The double eared base is especially relevant for applications that require a hinged mounting arrangement, such as tilting platforms, lifting booms, or oscillating machinery. For procurement engineers and maintenance supervisors, watching this assembly offers a clear view of the manufacturer’s care in handling custom interfaces and sealing details – making it a valuable reference when sourcing double eared tie rod hydraulic cylinders for construction attachments, material handling equipment, or marine steering systems.
